1
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: The Browns had their final practice of the week on Friday,

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: and next up for the team, the Baltimore Ravens, come

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: to town on Sunday at one pm. With game day

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: right around the corner. We get the final thoughts on

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: the Ravens from two players and three coaches today on

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: from the post. Before practice started, some position coaches spoke

7
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: to the media, and safety's coach if Frame Bando went first.

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: He talked about how well Grant Delpit has played this

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: season and what he has seen so far from undrafted

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: rookie safety Ronnie Hickman.

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 2: Just how well.

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: Grant Delpit has been playing and how he just really

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: seems to be.

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: Coming into his own.

15
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, just his effort from the moment that we started

16
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 4: Phase one today, it's just been relentless. His ability to

17
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 4: stay in the moment, locked in, go day to day,

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 4: week to week, and more importantly, he says it all

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 4: the time, be here for his team all the time.

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 4: He is such a competitor. His toughness and his desire

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 4: to be on the field for every play.

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 3: Like the young man. He won't let me take him out.

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 4: Like practice games again, wire to wire, from the first

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 4: day of Phase one to today, he's been present and

25
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 4: locked in and I'm super, super proud of him. And

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 4: he got his degree. So and when he got his degree,

27
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 4: he still got on a plane and showed up to

28
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 4: that preseason game. So I think it just says a

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 4: lot about him who he is, how he was raised,

30
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 4: you know, from his family. Comes from a strong family background,

31
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: which I loved, you know, back when I was recruiting him,

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: and a big reason why I wanted to the opportunity

33
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: to coach in which I'm getting to now.

34
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 5: And I mean, I know you talked about recruiting him

35
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 5: then he was in high school and stuff like did

36
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 5: you obviously kind of sense those like intangible things about

37
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 5: him that he would like have the I guess ability

38
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 5: to get to this point.

39
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 6: Absolutely.

40
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: I mean that's what I saw. When you're when you're recruiting.

41
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 4: Safeties in college, especially you know those you know, blue

42
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 4: bud college programs, and you have the opportunity to recruit

43
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 4: young men like that, you get a bitter, bitter a

44
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 4: bigger pool to pick from, and that's the hardest thing.

45
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: You got to weed through that pool and find the

46
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 4: right people. And what drew me to Grant at the

47
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 4: time was that you know, his just who he was

48
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 4: and how he was raised and the person he was,

49
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 4: because safety play isn't just about talent, it's about awareness,

50
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 4: it's about uh being selfless, it's about doing all the

51
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 4: other things. You know, a book that we read in

52
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 4: the summers, it's about being a water carrier and being

53
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 4: that guy for that team, for your team, you're not

54
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 4: gonna like last week. You know, Grant had a great

55
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 4: couple of games and then had to do the dirty

56
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: work against Tennessee and he did it at a high level,

57
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 4: you know, and he had a chance a couple of

58
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 4: makeup a couple of plays, and he did. But he

59
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 4: was selfless for his team. And that's the type of

60
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 4: person you want when you're recruiting a guy. And it's

61
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: obviously the person we want in this building. And it's

62
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 4: kudos to this to this organization for finding him and

63
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 4: and and making that a priority. And you're seeing you're

64
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: starting to see the fruits of the labor of that decision.

65
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 7: Are you are you?

66
00:02:59,160 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 6: Have you found worded?

67
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 7: It seems like he's really kind of thrived playing closer

68
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 7: to the line of scrimmage. Uh, maybe not regular lines,

69
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 7: but like more almost like a linebacker at times would

70
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 7: you would you say that.

71
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 4: Or I think what you're seeing is uh, a player

72
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: that is multifaceted and can do a lot of different things.

73
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 4: And I think that's what Coach Schwartz is doing an

74
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 4: excellent job of with him, is putting him in the

75
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 4: right places. Coach schwartzk's at all the time just things

76
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: about players, man, and it's about our job to get

77
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 4: them to you know, to put them in the right position.

78
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: And that's what Coach Schwartz is doing and his ability

79
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: to do that.

80
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: To to your question is true. But if you watch him.

81
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 4: He's been excellent in man coverage and killing it and

82
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 4: we're putting him at the point of attack in those

83
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 4: situations you know, regularly Coach Schwartz is and because he's

84
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: done a great job and because he can do that

85
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 4: and he's worked hard on that, you know, since since

86
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 4: since we walked in these doors, and and I see

87
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: a young man, I see a player that's just really

88
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: starting to touch the ceiling of his greatness that he

89
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: likes to talk about and that he's trying to achieve.

90
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 8: I'm sure you went back and watched him the fellow

91
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 8: last year, even the previous two years.

92
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 9: Can you put your.

93
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 6: Finger on why he's been able to make more place

94
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 6: this year?

95
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 4: You know, I did watch him, but you know, I'm

96
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 4: not a big fan of trying to understand what he

97
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 4: was asked to do in those things. I think, I

98
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 4: think that's unfair to coaches who were here before. I've

99
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 4: been at places where I've taken jobs over and at

100
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 4: position coaches or coordinators, and I just never thought that

101
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 4: was fair to the player or to the coaches. What

102
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: I do see is I just see a I see

103
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: a player that's stacking reps. And when you do get

104
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 4: to that rep threshold, you see, you know, you see

105
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: what's happening right now.

106
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 3: And I can say that that's for sure the truth

107
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 3: I see.

108
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 4: I see a man that's really finding confidence and it's

109
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 4: my job to keep, you know, fueling that fire for him.

110
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: And that's more of what I see from what I

111
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: from before and then what I see too now and

112
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: I see I see a guy that, uh again, it's

113
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 4: just all in for whatever it takes, to do whatever

114
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 4: it takes. A water carrier mentality and uh and it's

115
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 4: really it is really blossoming. So proud of him for

116
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 4: his efforts, what you guys don't get to see in

117
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 4: the meeting rooms.

118
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: That's the stuff that I'm just.

119
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: Super excited for him for and he's finding success.

120
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 9: Mention in the book.

121
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 10: Was that something the Safeties all.

122
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 4: Together was that, Yeah, it's it's a it's called Captain Class.

123
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: It's it's essentially a book that that Kevin gave us

124
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 4: as a staff that he wanted us to read in summer.

125
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: I fell in love with it.

126
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 6: It great book.

127
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 4: But it talks about, you know, the great leaders in

128
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 4: program in teams across you know, all areas in sport,

129
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 4: and it talked about there's a there's a section in

130
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 4: there that talked about it's not always the most you know,

131
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 4: high profile guy. It's that water carrier, that guy that

132
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 4: you don't see behind that really keeps teams together the glue. Uh,

133
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 4: and those guys are are massive and true successful teams. Actually,

134
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 4: it's the probably the biggest, most important piece. And Grant's

135
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 4: been that guy for us and and and he deserves,

136
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 4: you know, the credit that he's getting now and and

137
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 4: he's been humble about it, and he's taking it one

138
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 4: day at a time.

139
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 11: You told us back in the spring that you guys

140
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 11: don't really look at it like free safety, strong safety.

141
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 9: How have you seen guys kind of embrace that versatility

142
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 9: and how does it helped you?

143
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 11: Guys?

144
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 9: Did played just overall?

145
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: You know, Again the world I come from, it's you

146
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 4: got to play it that way a little bit more.

147
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: But with the things that I learned over the years

148
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 4: is that you're you're cross training guys. They're learning more,

149
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 4: but more importantly, they're learning more of the stresses that

150
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 4: one one person has versus the position just paying playing

151
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 4: one position. So the things that I've seen come from

152
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 4: that is a greater awareness of what Coach Schwartz is

153
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 4: trying to uh teach us, you know, and teach our

154
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 4: teach our team, our defense, and.

155
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 3: They're just there there.

156
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 4: There's a bigger knowledge, which I think is also helping

157
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: the communication flow because everyone knows the problems before they're

158
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 4: before their coming because they've played that position, whether they're

159
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 4: playing it then or not. And it's just really grown

160
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: the big, big picture of it and uh and I

161
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: think it's been good for us to do that, and

162
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 4: there's a great idea for coach for for Coach Schwartz

163
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: to push us to do that and especially early sometimes

164
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 4: you do just like put him here and put him

165
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: here and just let him learn that. Now, now let's

166
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 4: start this thing from the jump like Coachwartz did said,

167
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 4: and let's do it this way.

168
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: And it's been good for us.

169
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 5: You mentioned it yesterday, but first that week, you guys

170
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 5: didn't have Byuan, and Ronnie kind of stepped in, like what.

171
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 9: Did you see for him? And obviously just his progression.

172
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 3: You know, Ronnie has done an excellent job. I'm proud

173
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: of him too.

174
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 11: Uh.

175
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 4: He was a young man that that I had, you know,

176
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 4: felt we we we all had felt strong about through

177
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 4: the process. He was actually uh, he was my first

178
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: interview at the NFL Combine. It's kind of funny. I'll

179
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: never forget it, and sitting down with him in that

180
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 4: big old room and all the madness that happens in there.

181
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: He is my first interview, and I was, you know,

182
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 4: blown way with his intelligence, his presence, how he carried himself,

183
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 4: you know.

184
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 3: And I remember being my first and then.

185
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 4: I had like I don't know, forty or fifty after

186
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 4: and then I remember going back home and reading my

187
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 4: notes and just really circling back to him and what

188
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 4: he did that moment, and what he did in that

189
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 4: game was he just didn't make it too big. He

190
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 4: was present, he was there, he was ready. He handled

191
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 4: it very very well. He's been coached well.

192
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: He comes from a.

193
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 4: Great program in Ohio State, and they obviously do a

194
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 4: great job there, you know, I know, you know a

195
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 4: lot of those guys over there or their colleagues of

196
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 4: mine in the past, and they do an excellent job,

197
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: and they prepped him for this moment. It was not

198
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 4: too big for him, and he was ready to go.

199
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 4: And Coach Schwartz preaches that he's telling all those guys

200
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 4: who haven't got the Ronnie Hickman experience that your time's coming.

201
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 4: Don't drop your gloves, be ready to go when you.

202
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 9: Guys get the last one.

203
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 6: We guys decided to go three safeties. How much of

204
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 6: that is dictated by what the other team does personnel wise?

205
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 6: For just what you want kind of to dictate.

206
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 3: To that, you know, that's just more, it's more what

207
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: Coach Schwartz sees. You know, he's amazing.

208
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 4: First off, Coach Schwartz is has been an absolute for me,

209
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 4: absolute pleasure to watch work.

210
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: I've grown and learned so much by watching him.

211
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 4: And and and and it's those moments where he's like,

212
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 4: I think we fit better here versus this group personnel

213
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 4: versus our personnel, and that's what dictates those things. Uh,

214
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 4: He's he's one of the greatest defensive coordinators this NFL.

215
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 4: You know, this league has seen bottom line and his

216
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 4: ability to see those things and then again goes back

217
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 4: to what I talked about, putting the players in the

218
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 4: right spot, the right situation to have success, and that's

219
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: what he does extremely well.

220
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: Assistant offensive lines coach Scott Peters was the other position

221
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: coach to talk today, and he talked about how much

222
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: Dewan Jones has grown this season and what he has

223
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: seen from Jed Wills on tape.

224
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 7: I was Dwan grown up over the last few weeks.

225
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 12: He Duan's tell you what for rookie to come in.

226
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 12: He's come a long way, but there's still a long

227
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 12: way to go. I think he's just learning, you know,

228
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 12: kind of learning how to be a pro and learning,

229
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 12: you know, a lot of situations, situational awareness, just kind

230
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 12: of nuances.

231
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 13: That he's he's got to work through.

232
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 12: But as far as you know, he's made a pretty

233
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 12: big transformation since he got here I'll say that, and

234
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 12: we're we're proud of that. We think he can. But

235
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 12: he certainly has quite a quite a bit of room

236
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 12: to grow.

237
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 6: Is he greeting out well when you know on film

238
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 6: are the greats?

239
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 9: Because sometimes the PFF grades don't line up with your grades.

240
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 7: So how is he grating out for you guys?

241
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 12: Dewand has done done well in some areas, and then

242
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 12: there's areas where he's, like I said, like you know,

243
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 12: you have nuances that he has to kind of like

244
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 12: learn and just part of getting more experience, I think,

245
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 12: well that will help. I think generally speaking, like his

246
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 12: his capacity, it's it's more just nuanced in the run game,

247
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 12: you know, and being more in it. Obviously he's got

248
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 12: room to grow in the past and past protection as

249
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 12: well from a technical standpoint, and just the situational awareness

250
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 12: piece which comes with experience. But but he's taking good

251
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 12: steps in the right direction.

252
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 14: How have you seen them handle this role though, you know,

253
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 14: stepping in you know, week two and having some really.

254
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 9: Big matchups early on on these first few weeks.

255
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean to go against t J. Watt as

256
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 12: a rookie in general, is hard or any even as

257
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 12: a veteran is hard so to come in for early

258
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 12: in the year.

259
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 13: As a rookie.

260
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 12: Uh, it's I mean, he came from Ohose State. I know,

261
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 12: he's played in some pretty big games. I'm sure that

262
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 12: had something to do. He didn't, he didn't flinch. You know,

263
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 12: he came out and played in Uh, you know, relatively speaking,

264
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 12: did did well? You know, he could, you know, we

265
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 12: we feel like he can do much better. But again

266
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 12: that's just part of his growth. But in terms of

267
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 12: his his mindset going in, I don't think there was

268
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 12: anything that that felt like it was too big for him.

269
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 13: He uh, you know, you responded.

270
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 8: We challenge face this Ravens pastily.

271
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 12: The Ravens always have a great pass rush. You know,

272
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 12: their their defenses, uh is 'ar in and you're out

273
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 12: very good. They bring a lot of pressures. They have

274
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 12: a lot of different looks that you'll get. So you know,

275
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 12: you're you're you're you're very challenged from a stunt you know,

276
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 12: in the stunt game and the pressure game.

277
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 13: A lot of the you.

278
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 12: Know, the pressures they bring with their nickel, their their

279
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 12: their linebackers, and then you have the pass rush for

280
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 12: the down guys. And I think those guys. Those guys

281
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 12: present a challenge every time you play them. So we

282
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 12: we just got to be you know, very good and

283
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 12: sound in our communication and uh take those you know,

284
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 12: take the proper sets and just do a good job

285
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 12: finishing off.

286
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 14: After after that Steelers game where you know, Jack Get

287
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 14: gets beat on the strip sick, how did you see

288
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 14: them kind of handle that?

289
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 9: And how does these sort of bounce backs in suf play?

290
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 12: You know, I know Jed has had some moments like

291
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 12: everyone has, where they kind of wish they could have

292
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 12: you know, they could take those back, I think, But yeah,

293
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 12: it's just they're just being really locked in and detailed

294
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 12: on a consistent basis. Because you know, but I've seen

295
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 12: Jet approach this as a pro and you know, he's

296
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 12: come out and he works, he shows up, he does

297
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 12: all the things that we He's very well aware of

298
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 12: the issues and so but I know he he takes

299
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 12: that to heart and he's been working at it. So

300
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 12: I think, you know, as long as we can just

301
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 12: continue to to be uh, you know, just be more

302
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 12: conscious at all times in terms of where and when

303
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 12: and how your sets you're taking. So sometimes it's footwork,

304
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 12: sometimes it's cadence. Sometimes it's hand placement, there's there's a

305
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 12: whole host of things that you've got to account for.

306
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 13: And I think but as far as his approach goes, it's.

307
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 12: Been, it's been, it's been good, you know, I think

308
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 12: so so he understands that and and we we really

309
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 12: want to see that continue to develop and watch him

310
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 12: take a next step hopefully.

311
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 5: He talked about like what's different about blocking for a

312
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 5: QB like Deshaun and know multiple of them have used

313
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 5: the phrase like you have to pull on for infinity

314
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 5: or something like. It just seems like they've really kind

315
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 5: of latched onto that. But what has that process.

316
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 12: Been, Like, it's just an emphasis for us that we

317
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 12: you know, and that's really to be honest, it's always

318
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 12: the emphasis doesn't matter who's back there, you got to

319
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 12: block forever. That's you know, you can't let a guy

320
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 12: go or anything like that. It's obviously a challenge to block,

321
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 12: to pass protect in the NFL, and especially in this

322
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 12: conference when you have you know, some great rushers and

323
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 12: great schemes, and Deshaun has made some really big plays

324
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 12: in over his career when he's you know that have

325
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 12: happened late in the pocket, So we got to keep

326
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 12: that pocket clean late. But it doesn't change anything for

327
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 12: us on a day to day It's it's it's always

328
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 12: a case, you know, you block your man until the whistle.

329
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 13: Pretty pretty simple.

330
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: After practice was over, head coach Kevin Stefanski and two

331
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: players spoke to the media. Head coach Defanski was up first,

332
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: and he gave us the latest information on Deshaun Watson's

333
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: shoulder injury.

334
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 11: Okay, excited for the opportunity. Going to be a beautiful

347
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 11: best served treating them day by day and that's just

348
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 11: what we're doing.

349
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 7: Could it look like he was wearing something brace or

350
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 7: something on that the shoulder.

351
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 11: Uh is that right? He he'll have something there. Yes,

352
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 11: is it from the one hit in the red zone

353
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 11: or uh yeah, I think it was the one play

354
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 11: in the red one.

355
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 10: Yes, m if uh dtr has to start this day

356
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 10: based onthing you've seen every.

357
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 11: Day of practice of how you Yeah, all of our

358
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 11: back ups have to be ready to play. It's just

359
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 11: the the life of a back up, quarterback, back up, linebacker,

360
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 11: back up anything. You have to prepare yourself to play.

361
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 11: And he he's prepared just like everybody else. You gotta

362
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 11: be ready to play. Uh.

363
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 8: Obviously running game who live back give.

364
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 6: The injury or given, just got to do that.

365
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think you gotta have to be smart. Uh

366
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 11: you look around the league. Uh, you always have to

367
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 11: pr protect yourself uh when you can. Uh. And I

368
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 11: think we've talked about that before and I know, uh

369
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 11: around the league, you see players that make a ton

370
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 11: of plays with their feet and then you protect your them,

371
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 11: you protect yourself and the Shawn's done that over the

372
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 11: course of his career. So uh, he will always play

373
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 11: his style, but you always have to be smart as well.

374
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 9: If HR does play basically on your play.

375
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 11: I think with any back up Mary kay, you really

376
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 11: wanna make sure that that they're prepared to run the

377
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 11: game plan. Uh as it is and I and it's

378
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 11: coaches jobs to to put the game plan together and

379
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 11: then uh call it accordingly. But uh, your backup quarterback

380
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 11: is ready to to execute your game plan.

381
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 10: What about the fact that that lots just as numous

382
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 10: as games as the injuries almost.

383
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 5: For your guys.

384
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 7: And you talk about to talk this stept to the

385
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 7: last game, uh, guessing that he'll do any people's.

386
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 11: To cain to. Yeah, he will, and and he's been

387
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 11: getting you know, taking care of his body. Uh, he

388
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 11: knows his body. Uh. So that that's why I'm hopeful

389
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 11: see you will, Yes, yes.

390
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 10: When you go into the game like this with that

391
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 10: little bit of like certainly you know.

392
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 13: What's the mindset?

393
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 9: What's do you help you kind of not knowing.

394
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 11: That you're studying past.

395
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

396
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 11: I I think again it goes back to that day

397
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 11: to day mantra that we have. And you know, you

398
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 11: worry about today and and then you worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

399
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 11: You know, I thought we had a good week of practice.

400
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 11: Was really crisp out there today, which I'm pleased with.

401
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 11: I don't know, do I have to what are they

402
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 11: doing hockey? Whatever it says on the injury report, I'll

403
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 11: go with that.

404
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett went first in the locker room and talked

405
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: about the difficulties the Ravens possessed in the run game,

406
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: specifically with one individual, and what it's like playing alongside

407
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: Zadarius Smith.

408
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 6: I mean, we don't live in uncertainty. Whether he players

409
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 6: doesn't play, that's not gonna change our mentality going into

410
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 6: the game. And you know he's gonna make the best

411
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 6: decision for himself. That's why let's put his team what

412
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 6: he can put forth. But knowing him, he's a baller,

413
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 6: he's fun, He's fought through a lot of things that

414
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 6: you know he think he'll play. But if he doesn't,

415
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 6: we just have to you know, up far up our intensity,

416
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 6: just uh one more knocks.

417
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 10: Games to step in there.

418
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 6: You don't expect them to be ready.

419
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 10: What do you strike Sugargard in.

420
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 11: The rushing game?

421
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 9: By all of them, what do you think it's to

422
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 9: not show.

423
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 6: The rushing game? Everybody knows the Russian game up there,

424
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 6: it's got a number eight on it and then you

425
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 6: know those other guys are are good as well, but

426
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 6: that's the that's really the the call or the engine

427
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 6: that gets them going. He's the dynamo up there. I mean,

428
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 6: those guys are are are good at, uh the running

429
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 6: the ball. They want to knock out the ball. They

430
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 6: wanna give you a little window dressing and uh you know,

431
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 6: direct runs down your throat. But uh no, the the

432
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 6: threat is you know, if if you mess up, you know,

433
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 6: it's not just you know, the running back. You get

434
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 6: to worry about him going thirty, just like the running

435
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 6: back going thirty. So you know, it's just that that

436
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 6: two headed monster in the backfield.

437
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 8: Jim was talking yesterday about continuing to be the rest

438
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 8: of an attack is a defense.

439
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 9: You're not really changed because of Lamar. Is that different

440
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 9: for you?

441
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 8: Feels like in the past you said you ain't kind

442
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 8: of had to modify your runs because you don't.

443
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 11: Have Lamar's game.

444
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 6: Well, he don't care about that as much. He just says,

445
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 6: go win. I'm gonna go win.

446
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 11: Yeah.

447
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 6: Is that is that nice? Oh? Yeah, I mean for me,

448
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 6: for us, you know, to have that kind of mentality

449
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 6: now he says, you know, just take the sea butt

450
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 6: off and no and play your game, and that's what.

451
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 8: We're gonna don Jim also said, ye, you have to

452
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 8: treat Lamar like he's your running back, like he's a receiver.

453
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 9: But the rules are in place to protect the quarterbacks.

454
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 14: So just how difficult is it to treat in that

455
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 14: white walls at the same time playing like within the

456
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 14: rules of how you have.

457
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 6: To treat a quarterback the way in which he means that.

458
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 6: It's like when he escapes the pocket, you don't You're

459
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 6: not falling for pump fakes. You're not trying to jumping

460
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 6: back down the ball. He he may throw it, he

461
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 6: may not. But if if you jump, you know, you

462
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 6: don't have to worry about you know, him throwing it

463
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 6: for thirty he'll run by you, you know, rush for

464
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 6: forty five. So the guys dynamic when leavest the pocket,

465
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 6: and you don't want to know, give him, you know,

466
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 6: that much room if you're you're to leave your feet,

467
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 6: so plam like he's a running back, per se and uh,

468
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 6: you know, tackle him, tackle him to where the quarterback

469
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 6: area is. I mean, playing them is fun. You know,

470
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 6: there's a lot to look at, but at the end

471
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 6: of the day, it's just, you know, a physical game,

472
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 6: but who wants it more into Its usually one on one,

473
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 6: unfortunately for the big guys in the middle, sometimes a

474
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 6: little bit two on one. But on the edge, you

475
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 6: know you have a lot of opportunities to make plays

476
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 6: if you just keep your I focus on what you

477
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 6: need to And I'm saying with the corners and the

478
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 6: guys behind us, so now jakas and licking his chops

479
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 6: and and so all those linebackers. Did you get a.

480
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 9: Chance to listen to Rake on Smith's comments.

481
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 2: No, he said he was gonna your guys has killed

482
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 2: in front of your wives and kids.

483
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 6: Keep up with that, so we'll see.

484
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 9: Us historically in recent homes.

485
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 14: It's a fairly decent chop containing more.

486
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: But you haven't won a.

487
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 9: Lot of the games, dames.

488
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 14: Guess my question is how much from those previous games.

489
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 14: You know, jam is coming with a different philosophy, different scheme,

490
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 14: he's asking different things, But how much from some of

491
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 14: those previous games can.

492
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 9: You bring forward and maybe try and incorporate.

493
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 6: Because of it was some tangible success, we're not playing

494
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 6: the same schemes, so you can't look at those old games.

495
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 6: And I gotta look at what they've been doing this year.

496
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 6: I mean they've got different management over there, so I

497
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 6: can't be focused on how they were before. Now there's

498
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 6: some similarities, of course, but they still have a strong

499
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 6: running game that hasn't changed. But you know how when

500
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 6: they're when they're know, trying to rush the ball and

501
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 6: how they're trying to rush the ball has has changed

502
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 6: just a little bit. So they've got to gott to

503
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 6: look at their tennis season and how those have have changed,

504
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 6: you know, just this year.

505
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 9: It looks like MINDI Stanley didn't Thankice today. How much

506
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 9: of a difference.

507
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 6: Begat uh kind? Like Ronnie, I mean, good guy, learn

508
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 6: him for a while, and I don't want him to

509
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 6: play because he's been unhealthy for a while now, and

510
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 6: I want to see him, you know, get back on

511
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 6: the field and play this game at a very high

512
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 6: level without risk of injury. And I look forward to

513
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 6: aug Magic up against because he's a really good love talker.

514
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 6: But no, I don't want him to risk energy. I

515
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 6: neither that's a team. So it's just a matter of

516
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 6: you know, him getting out there and how they low risk.

517
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 6: But it's never no risk, but very low risk. I've

518
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 6: hurt of himself. I don't think it will change us.

519
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 6: They're still gonna run pretty much the same scheme as

520
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 6: far as you know what they want to do. But no,

521
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 6: it's I don't know, it's Ronnie.

522
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 8: Yesterday he walks said, Zadarius has helped you open up?

523
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 6: Do you feel that way?

524
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 11: Yes?

525
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 6: I mean old that means, dude, you.

526
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 9: Hear do you talk more?

527
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 6: Are you're more open to the guys this year than

528
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 6: you lived the fast?

529
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 9: Did you joke more?

530
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 6: Maybe they didn't appreciate my jokes last year.

531
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 8: I don't know, you haven't noticed the changing yourself because

532
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 8: it's Darious.

533
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 6: Maybe a little bit. What's he like to be rounding

534
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 6: like unbridled energy and ways up with like energy of

535
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 6: the bunny, like strapped to his back or something. So

536
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 6: it's just contagious, Jim said.

537
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 14: Yesterday we asked him not yet ready to have sack performance?

538
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 9: He said, there's more meat on that mole.

539
00:24:58,880 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 11: He seems to be.

540
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 14: He's uh, one of those tough love, put your arm

541
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 14: around your type of a coach.

542
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 9: When you when you hear that kind of a comment.

543
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 6: I love it. I've had coaches like that all my life.

544
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 6: You know, there's you know, high school, college and up.

545
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 6: You see something in you that sometimes you can't see yourself.

546
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 6: And you know, I agree with him. So I've always

547
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 6: believed there's, uh, there's no reason to ever be satisfied

548
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 6: with your performance. But even look at the film, there's

549
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 6: there's always a little bit more that you you can

550
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 6: get out of it. And uh, he's gonna he's gonna

551
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 6: don't squeeze his limits of the draw. So it's gotta

552
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 6: keep on, keep on fighting to get better.

553
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: Elijah More wrapped up the day at the podium, and

554
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: he talked about how he's being used in this offense

555
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: and how different it is when he lines up at

556
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver and at running back.

557
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 9: Just found out that, uh questioning, so just wondering.

558
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 10: You know what, uh you know what impact that aline

559
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 10: did you?

560
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 9: Did you head into this?

561
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? Nah, we just heard the news too. Know it's

562
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: a questional thing. But I guess that's as a him

563
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 2: and coach type of decision. You know, we gotta focus

564
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 2: on us. I gotta prepare the same way I always prepare.

565
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: I know everyone's gonna do the same, like like I

566
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: say every week.

567
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 6: You know, he doesn't have a choice to s step

568
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 6: in those shoes. You know. It's you know, at the

569
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 6: end of the day, football is that type of sports.

570
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 6: So he's next man up.

571

Speaker 14: DTR and just what have you seen from him at

573
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:27,240

623
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 14: Is it hard preparing for a team that's dealing with

624
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 14: them vast amount of injuries that they are on this.

625
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 9: I know that it's not your problem.

626
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 6: They have to deal with it, but you got you

627
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 6: gotta prepare for it.

628
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 2: Yeah nah, yeah, I mean that could be good for us,

629
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 2: see what I'm saying. So we just man, we focus

630
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 2: on ourselves though, you know, so we take it. We

631
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 2: take it day by day and focus on what's going

632
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: on in Cleveland Browns locker room.

633
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 11: Your mindset.

634
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 5: It was just fuck all, that's just kind of what

635
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 5: it is, has all usually been throughout your career.

636
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 9: Just kind of take it and going us and others.

637
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to got a long season, you know,

638
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 2: so you can't look too far ahead. You can't look

639
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 2: in the past, you know, coaches. Uh, his main point

640
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: of today was kind of just stay was staying in

641
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: the present, and I feel like that was perfect hitting

642
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: on on the head. I feel like we all gotta

643
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 2: just stay, you know, stay in the president.

644
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 14: Kevin came out with those two missed direction plays on

645
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 14: that opening series.

646
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 9: It's not something to see every day.

647
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what I mean.

648
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 14: And even though maybe you guys didn't have the succession

649
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 14: with those that you wanted, just what's that tell you

650
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 14: about him as a coach?

651
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 9: And you know, maybe so many potential possibilities.

652
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

653
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: Nah, it's exciting play play calling and being someone that

654
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: isn't is in the offense.

655
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 6: You just never know what's gonna come next, you know.

656
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: So I think as a playmaker, you can only look

657
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: forward to what he has in his bag outward.

658
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,479
Speaker 11: Isn't like commitions the games.

659
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 9: I just kind of feel that.

660
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I love I love getting the ball. I

661
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 2: feel like I can make an impact, So I'm not

662
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: I'm not mad about it at all. I like getting

663
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 2: about early, like whatever it is to be your first player,

664
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: to be whatever, getting the groove.

665
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

666
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: I I think seeing the you know, I as as

667
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 2: far as myself getting here, getting all that and then

668
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 2: seeing him get completion and just rouse us up.

669
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 6: So yeah, I think it's a good.

670
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 11: Thing because.

671
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 9: You guys can't replace.

672
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, but do you feel like maybe a little more

673
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 14: is put on your as far as the running game goes.

674
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 9: I'm not asking to give away, yeah, but just as.

675
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 14: Far as like expanding it because we did see you

676
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 14: in the backfield and and things like that, do you

677
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 14: think that that made the White PSI opportunities for you now?

678
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 7: Al?

679
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like we gotta we gotta stay ready.

680
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: For whatever having Nick nown was, you know, unfortunate, and

681
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: everyone has to step up, not including myself, even the

682
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: running backs. I know they looking at it as alright,

683
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta take on more.

684

690
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 2: just gotta know what it comes with. You know, being

691
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 2: being a running back isn't slight. You know, it's amazing.

692
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: I'm learning to gain more respect for them as as

693
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 2: it goes, you know. So yeah, man, you definitely gotta

694
